I  grew up in an Italian household.  At my grandparents for Holidays it was 
always on the table.  As well as other times too.  If i wanted to taste it no 
one thought a thing of it.  Iwas just a kid.  I don't know of anyone these days 
who would let a 9 or 10 year old drink a sip or two of wine.  No adults ever 
got drunk to my knowledge.  Unfortunately for me, wine gives me heartburn so 
I just don't drink it.  It was very much a cultural experience for me.  So many 
of my other friends parents either drank too much or not at all.  I think some 
other motives are feeding into this grandma.  Leave poor mom alone.  This is a 
6 month old baby and not a newborn.  In my opinion, wine and with most 
anything else in life, in moderation I see no problem.  Balance is the key.  A 
glass in the evening, and not the whole bottle....etc.  It was common when I 
grew up, and I know my mom had a glass here and there.  No she wasn't an 
alcoholic, and I think I grew up okay...:)  thats up for discussion.. I could take 
it or leave it.
